Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction: Changes in policy towards a healthcare approach viewing patients as persons provide calls for person-centred healthcare practices. The objective of this scoping review was to present an overview of the international literature on PCC. Methods: Database-specific search string including index terms and free text words related to PCC were constructed to identify relevant literature indexed in PubMed, Scopus, PsychINFO, CINAHL and Web of Science. Two different methods of combined manual and computer-assisted screening were applied to identify citations to be included in the review. Results: In total, 1,351 publications were included, whereof theoretical and empirical studies were most prevalent in the sample. For the latter, the most common setting was hospital care. The study population was most often health professionals or patients. The most frequently used term was patient-centred, followed by person-centred and family-centred. Research from six continents was included. An exploration of collaborations and research clusters has revealed several clusters. Discussion: This review provides a snapshot of the literature on PCC. The lack of clarity in terminology presents barriers to comprehensively overviewing the vast amount of available research within the field, which in turn presents challenges for research-based policy and practice development.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
